Description

Vexing Zoo

A deck built around the card Vexing Devil and it's ETB effect recurring and overwhelming with a myriad of different cards (that will soon be mentioned) to make your opponent confused about what to do when you bring in a devil, or other threat.

Ideally you want to have at least one Vexing Devil and/or a Faithless Looting in your opening hand in order to stimulate the rest of the non-creature spells.

All creatures are very importantly one drops and can all be brought in and utilized as quickly as possible from your hand and the graveyard in the early game. Later in the game, prowess can be triggered multiple times per turn on
Monastery Swiftspear
, and Death's Shadow can be brought back for maximum effect if you've exhausted your Phyrexian Mana.

Profane Command - A card that can bring a creature back in a pinch but offers more versatility, allowing your team through.

Orzhov Charm
- The only instant speed reanimating spell. The last two modes are beneficial to the deck as a whole.

SIDENOTE***If an opponent makes you sacrifice a Vexing Devil that has come in off of a Postmortem Lunge, it goes to your graveyard and is not exiled at the end of your turn which allows you to recycle the devil.

Early into this deck's creation it was featured on the front page, which gave me a lot of good feedback from many helpful people (THANK YOU!). I hope this deck can prove itself to be a bit more competitive. If you have any feedback I would love to hear it.

Updates

I switched the creatures back over toward a smaller number and upped some of the spells I originally planned on having in the deck. I think I've found a good balance with splashing white for Orzhov Charm, and maintaining my original plan.

That being said, I'd like to try and swing it more towards dealing with the current meta but I'm not entirely sure how yet.
